Python Selenium: Finds H1 Element But Returns Empty Text String

I am trying to get the text in the header on this page: iShares FTSE MIB UCITS ETF EUR (Dist) The tag looks like this:

)))

text property allow you to get text from only visible elements while textContent attribute also allow to get text of hidden one

Try to replace

new_name = driver.find_element_by_xpath(xp_name).text

with

new_name = driver.find_element_by_xpath(xp_name).get_attribute('textContent')

or simply handle the second (visible) header:

driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//h1[@class="product-title "]')[1].text

Solution 2:

As @ahmad-moussa mentioned, for me to the solution was:

import time

(...)

time.sleep(1)
# before 
<webelement>.text
